pre 08/91 suspension differences

[callum]

afternoon all,

on a quest to sort my saggy suspension and seem to have com across a peculiarity. Ironman (and others) state that their lifts are 20mm less for vehicles built before 08/91. This is potentially pretty good from my perspective as i don't want to lift the car and have to deal with castor and panhard adjustment and ironman only do a 50mm lift.

not sure whether the difference is due to different mounts or just that the earlier springs were stiffer and thus a bit higher. Anyone come across this? looking at toyo diy, the springs are different part no's but that doesn't really tell me about the mounts.

i've emailed ironman, so i'll see what they say, but i was curious to know if anyone else had come across this before.

thanks

Early models have harder springs and 'sit' a little higher this helps with 15" rims however, the panhard rod mounts are also weaker so check for damage/cracking before going to the lift. The ride once the rod parts company from the chassis is er.........interesting!
